Mackenzie's 8th Birthday

Mackenzie turned 8 on February 3rd. We had a morning party...breakfast and a mystery to solve for all of the junior detectives he invited. They did a great job compiling evidence, pouring over newspaper and police reports, identifying shoeprints and locks of hair and a single ribbon left at the scene of the crime. They finally determined the identity of the "Sweet Thief", who had made off with a bundle of chocolate coins intended for the party. Surprise, surprise, the culprit was none other than Laura Mitchell! It seems as though her dislike of all things sweet has been a ruse all along. Fortunately for the partiers, the chocolate was confiscated from Miss Mitchell before the party finished.
